Every hip-hop debate about the greatest rappers is incomplete without Kanye West. Keeping aside all the controversies and problems that surround the rapper, one cannot deny that Ye is an incredible musician. Over the years, the ‘Flashing Lights’ hitmaker has given the audience some very iconic songs. Ye’s lyricism, influence, and flow are unparalleled and his impact on music has been resounding. While the music fans are unhappy with the rapper’s unpredictable and eccentric nature, they cannot help but vibe when Ye’s music is played. And recently, fans were all praises for the rapper after the music video of ‘Runaway’ surfaced online recently.

Kanye West is one of the most popular musicians of our generation. We are no strangers to the fact that Ye enjoys a massive fan following worldwide. Despite all the controversies and legal problems he gets involved in, the rapper still is very popular among the masses. Even though the actor has given a plethora of memorable songs and albums to the audience, his song ‘Runaway’ has carved a separate niche for itself.

‘Runaway’ was a musical short film. It served as the music video for a compilation of songs from one of Ye’s most memorable album, ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’. The song first made its way back in 2010 and became one of his most loved songs. The classic rap song has nearly 78 million views on YouTube. And a while ago, the music video of the song surfaced online and fans could not hold themselves back.

While a user commented on how the song changed his life, a few others revealed how it is one of the best songs by the rapper. However, a user went a little too much with the flow, as he called ‘Runaway’ the “song of the century.”

However, there were a number of users who were not as impressed as they mentioned how the song is overrated.

How Runaway served as one of the most creative project by Kanye West

Ye is one of the most creative musicians of our generation. While his lyricism and rapping skills are incredible, his creativity always gives him an edge over other rappers. And Runaway was one of the most creative piece of work by Ye. Even though many viewed Runaway as a mere promotional music video, it was something much deeper.

‘Runaway’ not only served as a promotional video but also dived deeper into the theme of the album. It gave the fans an insight of how lost Ye felt back in 2010.
